Path Cost — Indicates the port contribution to the root path cost. The path cost is adjusted to a higher or lower value, and is used to forward traffic when a path is re-routed.

Priority — Indicates the priority value of the port. The priority value influences the port choice when a bridge has two ports connected in a loop. The priority range is between 0-240. The priority value is determined in increments of 16.

RSTP Link Type — Indicates whether a Point-to-Point link is established, or if the device is permitted to establish a Point-to-Point link. The possible field values are:

Auto — Enables the device to establish automatically point-to-point link.

Point to Point Indicates if a point-to-point link is currently established on the port. Ports set to Full Duplex modes are considered Point-to-Point port links.

Shared — Enables the device to establish a shared link.

Designated Bridge ID — Indicates the bridge priority and the MAC Address of the designated bridge.

Designated Port ID — Indicates the selected port priority and interface.

Designated Cost — Indicates the cost of the port participating in the STP topology. Ports with a lower cost are less likely to be blocked if STP detects loops.

Forward Transitions — Indicates the number of times the port has changed from Forwarding state to Blocking state.
